Here's the full recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Banana Bread Pudding:
* 4 cups stale banana bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup whole milk
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Caramel Sauce (optional):
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1 teaspoon sea salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream:
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Ice Cream:
* 1 pint of your favorite ice cream flavor (we recommend vanilla or caramel)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the melted butter and stir until smooth.
4. Add the banana bread cubes to the mixing bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
6. Bake the bread pudding for 35-40 minutes, or until it's golden brown and set.
7. Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
8. To make the caramel sauce (optional), combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract.
9. To make the whipped cream, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
10. To assemble the dessert, place a scoop of ice cream on top of the bread pudding. Drizzle with caramel sauce (if using) and top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Variations:
* Add chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts) to the banana bread pudding for added texture and flavor.
* Use different types of bread (e.g., brioche, challah, or croissants) for a unique twist.
* Substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version.
* Add a splash of liqueur (e.g., rum, Kahlúa, or Grand Marnier) to the caramel sauce for an adult twist.
* Top the dessert with fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for a pop of color and added flavor.
